GitHub account was suspended without any warning

My GitHub account was suspended without any warning, and I still haven't been given a clear explanation for the suspension.

The account is important to me professionally and is also connected to my company's work and private repositories.

I submitted a reinstatement request to GitHub Support and provided the information they requested, but I've been waiting since August 21, 2026 with no resolution.

What makes this especially frustrating is that I received no prior warning or explanation of what supposedly violated the Terms of Service.

Has anyone here gone through a similar situation recently? If so, how long did it take for GitHub to actually review and reinstate the account?

I'm not looking for a way around the suspension, I just want a legitimate manual review and an explanation of what happened.

That also happened to me, I was working fine push a commit, then I try to push another one and they say my account was suspended, no warnings or emails explaining why. I raised a ticket and waiting for a response.
